Ben Metcalfe, senior communications on the Greenpeace expedition, talks with Commander Floyd Hunter of US Coast Guard cutter "Confidence" who is on-board Phyllis Cormack (also called "The Greenpeace") to issue Captain Cormack with a customs violation. This is a photographic record by Robert Keziere of the very first Greenpeace voyage, which departed Vancouver on the 15th September 1971. The aim of the trip was to halt nuclear tests in Amchitka Island by sailing into the restricted area. Crew on-board the ship, are the pioneers of the green movement who formed the original group that became Greenpeace.
